1st Quarter Report Cards Available in HCPSS Connect

Your child’s 1st quarter report card is now available for viewing.  Directions are included at the bottom of this message.
 
The following information was shared in our JHES newsletter sent on 11/4, but as a reminder:
 
The Howard County Public School System has made some changes to 1st quarter grading that you may see reflected on your child’s report card. Students in primary grades will earn an I (Independent) or W (With assistance) if they have engaged in synchronous instruction.  Students in intermediate grades will receive A, B or C grades if they have engaged in synchronous instruction. As a result, Canvas grades may not align with quarter 1 report card grades.
 
These changes are in place for 1st quarter report card grades only. Asynchronous assignments complement and support synchronous learning, please support your child with task completion and with attending support sessions as needed.
 
Please note that health assignments were not due for the end of this grading period and health grades will not be assigned until the 2nd quarter. Also, students will not receive a grade for related arts classes until the 2nd quarter.
 
Parents of students receiving special education services can expect to receive their child's IEP progress report ​no later than Friday, November 20 through email. If you have any questions about your child's progress ​or what to expect as we fulfill requirements for progress reporting, ​you may contact your child's case manager.
 
Thank you for your continued support and collaboration!
